How much of the beneficial effect of custom orthotics results from just taking a mold of the foot and having a device that increases the total contact area of the sole of the foot? Ignoring the prescription variables (if this is possible, maybe it isn't, but I do see practitioners that write on their prescription "custom foot orthotics, diagnosis plantar fasciitis, hav,...etc.").

Put another way, how would you rate the effectiveness of an orthotic that just fits the foot versus an orthotic that was prescribed and made by a knowledgeable practitioner and lab?
I fully respect biomechanics and this question is not meant as an insult, but it is just a question that I have wondered for several years.
